BURBANK, CA, 31 July 2006 – As a follow up to last year’s blockbuster Batman Begins, Christopher Nolan is set to direct Warner Bros. Pictures’ The Dark Knight, written by Jonathan Nolan, based on a story by Christopher Nolan and David Goyer. The film will be produced by Emma Thomas, Charles Roven and Christopher Nolan. Additionally, Christian Bale will resume his role as Bruce Wayne and Academy Award nominee Heath Ledger has been cast as The Joker. The announcements were made today by Jeff Robinov, President of Production, Warner Bros. Pictures.

Christopher Nolan revamped the Batman franchise in 2005 with the immensely successful Batman Begins, starring Christian Bale in the title role, which chronicled the early years of the superhero. Nolan first garnered attention from critics and fans in 2000 with the groundbreaking drama Memento, which he wrote and directed. He went on to direct the thriller Insomnia, starring Al Pacino and Robin Williams, and recently wrapped production on The Prestige, with Hugh Jackman and Bale.

Bale was most recently seen in the ensemble cast of Terrence Malick’s The New World. His other credits include Little Women, Portrait of a Lady, Metroland, American Psycho, Laurel Canyon and Steven Spielberg’s Empire of the Sun, which was his first starring role.

Ledger most recently earned Oscar Golden Globe, BAFTA and SAG Award nominations and won the New York Film Critics Circle Award for Best Actor for his portrayal of Ennis Del Mar in the award-winning drama Brokeback Mountain. His other credits include Casanova, Monster’s Ball, Lords of Dogtown, The Brothers Grimm and The Patriot.

“Chris’ unique vision is what made Batman Begins such an outstanding film and we could not imagine anyone else at the helm of The Dark Knight,” said Robinov. “We also can’t wait to see two such formidable actors as Christian and Heath face off with each other as Batman and The Joker.”

“I'm excited to continue the story we started with Batman Begins,” added Nolan. “Our challenge in casting The Joker was to find an actor who is not just extraordinarily talented but fearless. Watching Heath Ledger's interpretation of this iconic character taking on Christian Bale’s Batman is going to be incredible.”

I never even thought of the possibilities...* *

You're making this worse!

This is how big it is. I've STOPED working. I should be working now but I'm not. I'm on The Hype! with y'all .This is the biggest day in 'the sequels' production. Heath as Joker, Official title, PLUS mystery news! JOYGASAM!

 

[BatMatt]

the titles ok, but how is the word BATMAN not in the title????

c'mon warners!

 

[E-Mack]

Ah...thank god we finally have some confirmation on this whole mess. The board has been chaotic with the Heath Ledger news, so at least we can have some peace with the info.

I think the title's good, it steps away from the repetitive "Batman (insert verb)" The title just emphasizes more that this Batman is more bad-ass than ever. About time too. After SM3 hits, there won't be anymore big comic book characters that has been recieved greatly from both critics/fans.

And before I end this first post. I have to say...I hope to hell that the oldbies from the '03 days come back to discuss the sequel's rumors. I miss discussing with the likes of snipe, antman, clerk, spanish39, ultimatefan, and....BIF (come back!).

Peace.

News in an hour eh? Pengin casting, Dent Casting, release date, an unexpected suprise?

Free cupcakes?

 

[kytrigger]

the titles ok, but how is the word BATMAN not in the title????

c'mon warners!

This won't be a problem if WB markets it correctly. Have every trailer, and tv spot say Batman in it, and then The Dark KNight shown as the title. It won't be that bad if they prepare for it.

 

[Compi716]

THE DARK KNIGHT

Freaking awesome!! And glad to finally have some Ledger confirmation!

I could live with being in suspended animation until 2008 just so the next thing I see is this movie.

What if someone forgets to wake you? Then you wake up in 2011 and see BOTH new Batman movies!!

 

[Compi716]

c'mon warners!

They'll probably just use the BB bat-logo with the words THE DARK KNIGHT in the middle. That would get the point across AND look really cool.
